President Castro of Cuba may be preparing to unleash a new flood of refugees on the United States, perhaps at the Guantanamo Bay US naval base in Cuba, says Rep. Les Aspin (D) of Wisconsin.

Representative Aspin, chairman of the House intelligence oversight committee, says he believes the refugee weapon may be used by President Castro against the US to secure concessions he wants: return of the Guantanamo base, an end to the US trade embargo with Cuba, and elimination of intelligence overflights, Monitor correspondent John K. Cooley reports.
